Police Question Piers Morgan "Under Caution" in Phone Hacking Case
— Ace

The police continue to inquire about his involvement in the British tabloid hacking scandal of 2011.

"Under caution," it seems, is how Brits say "warned of your rights."

Once police have grounds to suspect someone of an offence, the person must be cautioned before being asked any further questions. Unless this is done, the suspect's answers, or silence, cannot be used in court. The interview should take place at a police station unless delay in bringing a suspect there would be damaging. A person cautioned is told: "You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

I like that British warning, including the warning that means, basically, "If you have a sound alibi or the like, but don't tell us now, we can mention this at your trial, to suggest you contrived it after-the-fact." We can't do that in the US.

Should you care? I don't know. Piers Morgan is boring to me even when he's being interrogated for criminal invasion of privacy.

Can we revoke his visa if he gets extradited?

I'm not sure I care, but I would be amused.

10 I'm trying to think of some value he adds to this country, but I got nothing. As to whether I think that criminal invasion of privacy is a big deal, yeah I think that's a big fucking deal. Any politician that doesn't lead with that in the next election cycle is the stupid.

29 8 Any news on you grandfather, BC? I hope good news? Posted by: L, elle at February 17, 2014 05:26 PM (0xqKe) Hey, L,Elle. First, thank you for the post at the Group. I do have news. There is a positive diagnosis of septicemia, which while very bad, is better than the stroke they thought it might have been. They've currently got him on low dose garden variety antibiotics to try and keep things from getting worse. They have to wait on cultures to come back, which won't happen until tomorrow. The cultures will tell them exactly what they're dealing with and where. Then they can aggressively target the infection. He's in rough shape right now. Delusional, doesn't recognize anyone including my father, raving, talking gibberish, shaking. Doctors insist that's standard for septicemia. He's getting excellent care. My dad said that at one point there were 4 docs and 4 nurses all attending to him at one time, trying to diagnose and treat him. In addition, all of his other doctors have been by to see him. His cardiologist, pulmonologist, nephrologist, general practitionerÂ…they've all been by to check in on him and his treatment.

If he is found to be involved with the UK scandal it just confirms what an unserious tabloid reporter he is despite his current pose as a serious commentator on CNN.

Scots law allows juries to return verdicts of guilty, not guilty, or "not proven".

I find that interesting and can see its potential utility in many cases.

Not least because it allows juries to spotlight inadequately supported cases being brought by aggressive prosecutors, while avoiding the implication that a "not guilty" finding carries with it, of the defendant's innocence having been shown.

However, I was noticeably not thrilled when Arlen Specter decided that he had the unilateral prerogative to vote "not proven" during Bill Clinton's Senate impeachment proceedings. No, sorry, you senile old fucktard, that concept appears nowhere in the Constitution and is not part of US federal law.

He has COPD, the beginnings of congestive heart failure and a slight reduction in renal function. In other words, he's an 80 yr old man who smoked far too often and for far too long. I was having a discussion via email with a friend over at TheHostages and I made the, morbid and horrible, comment that I seriously doubt he would be receiving this level of care and attention were we dealing with Obamacare.

68 Actually they now can use your silence (under some circumstances) in court. I'm no lawyer so I can't cite case and finding but that's the gist of what went on.

A guy started to talk then when asked certain questions, clammed up.

This was allowed in testimony as an indication that the subject he clammed up on was one he didn't want to talk about but he would talk about others.

Apparently you can't talk and then decide to invoke your right to silence without that delayed invocation being noted and testified to.

Similar but not exact.

And would you really want them able to cast suspicion on your testimony in court because you invoke your right to silence?

That barely helps most defendants by the way. We only hear about the outliers not the run of the mill cases.

I said prayers for him already.

In my prior unpleasant experience, having too many different doctors in the loop at any given time is a virtually guaranteed recipe for preventable medical error. The professional literature where that issue has been studied says the same.

My dad formerly worked in a hospital as a respiratory therapist. None of us are letting anything slide or go. There were several immediate and obvious possibilities. Those were ruled out positively through testing. In one case, multiple testing. We've had friends and family members who have been lost through mistakes. We're not keen for that to happen again so we tend to be very active and involved.

88 Morgan, like a lot of leftie trolls, doesn't debate. He says stuff angrily.

If you have a point, he'll ignore it partially, completely, or misconstrue it.

If you devastate him logically, he'll claim victory and fistpump on Twitter afterwards.

Basically he's the irritating guy in your Freshman dorm who thought he was a debate master.

94 BC - Best wishes to your grandfather.. When I had a bad case of cellulitis last year, I went septic.. terrible chills fever heart racing. Luckily since I had had cellulitis once before and told the docs, they put me on antibiotics within hours of checking in.

I was in the hospital for 8 days and on IV antibiotics for another 2 weeks at home. They ended up settling on a very old antibiotic called Clyndomycin

Scary as shit..

I will keep him in my prayers.

They don' gotta tell you of your right to an attorney, and until you are formally charged you don't have an absolute right to have an attorney present.

Sorry, I like the Fifth Amendment better.

Especially when the FBI and the US attorneys send unpopular people to jail for not telling the federal investigators the exact same story every time. Even though it is their word against the defendants, with no video or recording.

Remember Martha Stewart? They did not get her for insider trading.

Remember Scooter Libby? He did not go to jail for exposing a spy.

Sometimes they gang up like that for billings purposes.

I wouldn't want to point fingers but when I was in hospital once some pretty strange charges for things I didn't want/need showed up.

Many people are not aware that there is a listing of recommended practices and that if a hospital or doctor does not follow them (regardless of their efficacy or relevance) they can be in trouble with the licensing board.

This is why medicine these days has become so assembly line one size fits all routine. You have to cause trouble and make noise to get your self heard if your case falls outside the guidelines.

The Hebrew word translated as 'keeper' in most versions of the OT is more properly translated as 'guard,' 'jailer' or 'watcher.' So when God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain smarted off and basically asked "is it my day to watch him?" BHO "quotes" the Bible in the same manner as his father.

176 As far as CNN is concerned, do y'all remember Desert Storm? Didn't it seem that CNN was an AMERICAN news company? Those days were over with a long time ago. When I was at Camp Arifjan in 2005 the galley had CNN on at one end and FOX at the other. It was evident even then (3 years before Ubama) how the country was split. By the way, I have not watched CNN since shortly after Clinton was elected, nor FOX since Ubama was elected.

230 Hey Horde, I'm back. I had just started making dinner for the fam and thought "fuck this. I tired of getting reports second and third hand. I can't just sit here." So I threw on some jeans and the trusty S&W tshirt and was making the 40 minute drive in to the hospital. I was about 1/3 of the way when I got a text from my mom. They gave my grandpa a nice big shot of morphine to help calm him down and because they're going to be running more tests on him. They're almost absolutely certain that he hasn't had a stroke, but they want to make 100% certain. So he's going to be having tests done for a while tonight. Nurse told my dad that grandpa wouldn't be back to the room for roughly 3 hours. I don't care if he was asleep or didn't know me, but if he's not even going to be where I can see him, there's not much point. Dad and I will go into work tomorrow morning to try and square everything up and plan for the next few days and then he'll head over to the hospital and I'll meet up with him over there a little later. All of the thoughts and prayers and well wishes are greatly appreciated.

267 so i went to check out the mediate site for a few minutes on the oliver stone and a liberal journalist complaints about Obama.

i had to laugh, the fans are really pissed when past Honor-ey of their club speaks out.

in fact they shift to hate in 60 seconds .
i would hope that some of the issues some of the liberals are noticing .
nsa,dhs irs, could be an issue we could actually fight together on. for 'our good'

yeah i'm dreaming.

271 We're over 250 and new threads are hard to find so I'm going OT:

Still need a sling attachment for right behind the pistol grip. Any recs would be appreciated.

272 you also forgot aggravated rape and recreational drug use.

How dare you impugn the honour of such moral giants of the Houses of Congress as Edward Kennedy and Robert Filner.

273 244 Positive news: 3 of my kids got into Brown, Harvard and USC. Academic insurgency plan continuing. Posted by: tangonine at February 17, 2014 07:33 PM (x3YFz) Well, at least South Carolina has a good football team and it's not far from NC. Ha Ha. The other USC use to have a team, now, not.

275 You know the new rule, any thread over 250 can become a gun thread. I got a win 1894 44 mag for son at gun show. I never realize how heavy the little gun was and it only has a 16 barrel. Damn I want to shoot it.

My Mossberg 590 is stretching my little dinosaur arms. Think I'm going to have to go back to my Remington 870.

282 Not typical, but related: in England the courts will permit adverse influence to be drawn in certain circumstances where a defendant remains silent.

Is there a similar legal doctrine at work in the US?
